    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Simple question?

 

Are they allowed by law to have access to an individuals DVLA records?

Got one of them £70 notices for parking in a car park next to a works building and the notice has all of my details relating to my vehicle on it?

 

Cant be right surely?:mad:

No,

 

The car park is adjacent to a huge building that my local authority and employer , owns.

 

The tickets are posted out after camera recogmition I am presuming.

 

The correspondence I received is an Enforcement notice with a tear off payment slip on it.

That means that this group can legally access what one would assume to be private info?

 

Thanks

 

Yes the registered owner of a car is not deemed 'private' information and is released to anyone that can show a need to access it. Not much is private thesedays with births, deaths electoral role all available online. When companies do a credit check all kinds of information is shared as is marketing information. If you know where to look sadly there is not much thats private anymore.

My wife was pulled over last night by two young and enthusiastic Constables re a red light / amber light jump.

The notice is strewn with spelling and street name errors and was dated for Friday 22nd and not Saturday 23rd when the alleged offence took place.

 

Will this be worth challenging?

Oh right I misread your post and thought the ticket was on the car. If you didn't realise the ticket is vitually unenforceable and is best ignored plenty of advice on the sticky posts at the top of forum.

The FPN which I assume she got is an offer to settle out of Court, if you don't pay I beleive you will be summonsed to Court which is a seperate matter to the FPN and will probably be more correct.

God knows how some PCs ever get employed I had to give a statement a few weeks ago and the PC misspelt almost every other word I was embarrassed having to keep stopping to correct his typing.

Would happily pay the fine if I thought it had been dealt with appropriately but I am thinking of taking it further

i sent a very brief letter to CEL recently asking on what legal basis they were demanding money from me. i got sent back a template letter, many copies of which you will see on this site.

 

really, it appears as if regardless of what you write to them - be it a sensible letter, or whether you told them to %^&* off, they would still send you back the same old letter saying 'in response to the specific issues we would respond as follows'.

their turn again

 

"We have already expended considerable time responding to your representations. We have already clearly stated our case and cannot continue corresponding with you.

 

The decision that has been sent is final, and your continued failure to make payment will result in this matter being forwarded to a collection agency for recovery"

 

Time to cease?

how about just one more letter. Along the lines of "In your business you must have discovered by now that a Debt Collections Agency is powerless to do anything when the alleged debt is in dispute and they will HAVE to refer the matter back to you. This is true for bona fide (real) debt collection agencies and even more so for the many pretend ones that abound. As you already clearly are fully aware that this matter is in dispute passing it to either kind of Debt Collection Agency would clearly be a misstep on your part and a complete waste of time for everyone concerned. I have no idea at all what possessed you to say that you would do this."

Rings a bell. If you want to carry on winding them up, I recommend this as a good read: Dear Customer Services: Letters from the World's Most Troublesome Shopper: Terry Ravenscroft: Amazon.co.uk: Books

 

He's very adapt at the art of winding up companies!

 

will now go for the ignore approach as you originally suggested

Simple answer...

 

yes

 

Extreamly debatable IMHO - depends on what the implied term of "reasonable grounds" is according to the DVLA!

 

I for one, do not consider releasing RK details in persiut of the 'driver' is either right or proper, as neither have any corrolation in contract law.

 

All the DVLA are doing IMO is aiding and abetting this [problem] of PPC's 'micky-mouse' invoices and annoying joe-public into the bargin (harrisment by deffinition).

 

My advise to all who receive PPC 'invoices', is to simply ignore them (DO NOT CONTACT THEM - EVER, accept for proper served court papers, but VERY unlikley (some say you've a better chance of winning the LOTTO!) - allow the PPC to do all the chasing - they soon get tired and give up after a few choice corispondance (my own experience on a few occations).
